I've always been the man with a plan, even though sometimes it may not look like it.
Sometimes, my face says that I'm the most clueless man in the room, blank, expressionless features are what they see, but whatever the gig or task may be, I always have a plan. I just don't share it, because it may just come across as an unreasonable technique, radical in some ways.
Yes, sometimes this "plan" does not workout, in the short run at least, but if applied long-term, then it does workout 90% of the time. It's all been full proof so far.
Alas, people still doubt my methods.
I guess my antics don't suit the common man, it's usually burly and isn't sugar coated. Which is a bit too much for them to "stomach", their narrow intestines and weak digestive systems can't make sense of it.
I like to take it slow, and some people don't like that idea, they want things fast, ASAP. They all want long-term - exponential results, from their shiftless efforts and their very limited, short-term thinking.
How cute! If only things worked that way. Sigh...
Yet, no matter how hard I try, the plans I lay out, someone, or something, always has to come and interfere.
And sadly, I still hold onto that "people pleaser" mentality, that is why a bit of interference turns into an order most of the time. I feel like I owe people something, even though I really don't. I still keep putting other people's opinions and suggestions before mine.
So, soon enough all these suggestions, requests and all, they end up toppling my proposition and confidence in my own methods. Again and again, I keep on losing faith in the process.
I take directions from those who barely have their "own thing" figured out, I go and implement these "suggestions" and ideas, which then ushers to a lot F*CK UPs. Thus, leading to the demise of my ambition.
Sometimes I really wanna go far away, for a few years at least, then try and focus on myself, my plans and future. It may all sound selfish, and I say it is, but it's also quite necessary to be selfish at a certain stage in life. And I believe that I'm currently in that stage right now, and my mind keeps telling me that my time is short.
I believe sometimes in order to stay focused, you must dissociate, disconnect, from the past and a draining present environment. With blinders on the side and a clear mind, you maintain your confidence in your own plans and methods. You simply aren't distracted as often.
Distractions lead to looser grip, which steers you away from your goals.
You can't keep switching from one side to the other, again and again, from this track to another.
It's a recipe for disaster.
What people have to say really shouldn't matter all the time. If you know that you're capable of taking control and are mentally stable, then you should believe in yourself and stick to your own path. Just because 5 other people are suggesting and walking on a different path, doesn't mean they're right.
You have your own qualities, your own dreams, likes, and dislikes, so if you have to set out on a completely new and different path, then you should stick to it. Be adamant with your decision and have faith in the process, even if everyone's against you.
Be the black sheep if needed...

On a serious note, I do agree with the general feeling of the post. Ought to stick to the chosen path, the thing is, IM LAZY!
If I say that in French, Je suis paresseux!
UNNOYON BHAI UNNOYON. 🔥
I try and stay on my path, and I maintain my pace too. After a lot of fuck ups, I can now sense what's good and what's bad, but people just keep messing with my mind and my methods. They act as if they know it all, but they don't realize that what they know and suggest, is now obsolete.
I think we all are, especially everyone from our little group. 😂
Yays, indeed my friend.
YAYY indeed, and sometimes nayy. 💣
This has always been the best way to go about things. Rushing over things may yield good short-term results but how about in the long run? What happens then.
I like the way this post progressed and I can totally relate with it, especially the part of being a people's pleaser.. it get hard sometimes and I dont know if it's the conscience at work or something else . It always feels like you owe these people.
This was a beautifully written piece ✨
Sadly, we're always looking for easy profits, I myself am guilty of taking that road every now and then. So, before looking at the gains of the near future, one must consider the distant loss as well.
Some of us just try to be "nice", and that's what others like to abuse and take advantage of. Thus, these days all the "nice people" end up finishing last.
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. ✨
This is true. The both options have to be weighed.
Finishing last. Sorry, I do t get that line.
It just means that nice people usually fall behind. Because sometimes they forget about their own wellbeing, by being too busy and focused on others.
Oh.. this right here is also very true. Thanks for explaining further ✨
You are welcome.
